Embankment Deformations Due to Water Loads

J. R. Booker / H. G. Poulos

A number of solutions are presented for the deformation and stresses within an embankment subjected to water loading. For a homogeneous embankment, the influence of water level, embankment slope and Poisson's ratio is investigated. The influence of a central core is also examined, and is found to be relatively small for the cases considered. It is further shown that the solutions for a homogeneous embankment may be used to estimate the movements within an embankment in which the modulus varies.
